The potential of unused railway areas

Patterns of Pedestrian Movement in London's Railway Terminus Areas

This chapter is an empirical study and statistical analysis of pedestrian movement in London's railway terminus areas. The main question is how the terminus structures as well as their local urban grid structures differently influence pedestrian movement around the station buildings. Its main objective is to examine the effect of urban spatial configuration on movement (the natural movement) in...

Hunt for Unused Servers

Modern enterprises critically depend on IT. However, enterprise IT environments are complex and poorly documented. As a result, various IT components are forgotten and unused. Recent estimates show that 30% of servers in datacenters are unused on average. Elimination of unused servers (physical and virtual) and software instances decreases costs, electricity consumption, risks of problems causi...

Tapping the Unused Potential of Photosynthesis with a Heterologous Electron Sink.

Increasing the efficiency of the conversion of light energy to products by photosynthesis represents a grand challenge in biotechnology. Photosynthesis is limited by the carbon-fixing enzyme Rubisco resulting in much of the absorbed energy being wasted as heat or fluorescence or lost as excess reductant via alternative electron dissipation pathways. To harness this wasted reductant, we engineer...

The Problem of Sensing Unused Cellular Spectrum

Sensing mechanisms that estimate the occupancy of wireless spectrum are crucial to the success of approaches based on Dynamic Spectrum Access. In this paper, we present key insights into this problem by empirically investigating the design of sensing mechanisms applied to check the availability of excess capacity in CDMA voice networks. We focus on power-based sensing mechanisms since they are ...
